I will be in the Canton Area Feb 9th/10th.
AMF Hall of Fame Lanes for a bowling tourney.
Sippo Lake is right there and Meyers lake isnt that far either.
Just curious which lake y'all would go to given the choices.
Along with species you would target.
Thanks!!

Please use extreme caution while launching from the campground ramp area...    The ice at the breakwall section of the ramp is not safe.   I launched at 7am walked to the breakwall with good ice... In between the breakwall  the ice turned to garbage.   Spud went through with 2 hits....   We backed out and found a different path.    Later on in the morning 2 people went through in that section.  It sure looked like someone went through last night on the way out but I cannot confirm that.   Please please please Spud.

Anyone been able to lay eyes on the upground?
Wondering if it locked up or if the wind/geese kept it open.
Usually takes a little longer for the perched reservoirs to lock up

I ran across the below website the other day and found it to be interesting.
1 link is my personal trophy page, which is small since i just started it.
The other is a link to the home page of the site.

Also check out the 14 lb snook on the recently uploaded photos page. the chick is smokin hot. 

Don't worry I won't be flooding the site with reoccuring links, just a one time post so if your interested you can check it out.

It is a website designed to rank your Trophies across the county in which it was harvested, the state it was harvested and the entire country.

Keep in mind it only ranks the trophies against other trophies that have been posted.

Its also an easy way to keep all your trophy pics and info in one spot.
It saves the moon phase, air temp and wind directiion/speed of the date harvested.

It ranks Deer along with other large Game & Fish.

Im sure after this ice season one of you guys can dethrone my #1 walleye catch.

Let me know what yo all think it is

Got to try my buddies open country tumble drum fish scaler tonight. WOw does it do a great job. Threw 30 gills in there for 20 minutes pulled them out checked them, not one scale on any of them. Anyone who likes to scale their fish instead of skinning them absolutely needs to get one of these. Fished at Spencer today will post a report there.

I picked up some jamming jigs today. Wow the paint job on these are gorgeous!!! Not sure, I might have to rubber coat the hemos. I used one a few times last year and it caught fish. Hopefully I will be able to put them to the test this year.

I went and checked Spencer around 11am to see how the lakes were setting up.
I checked the west ends of the north and south lakes.
North lake at the boat ramp was 2". I didn't go more than a few feet from the ramp. I really didn't feel like getting wet.  The ramp on the north end is situated in a protected cove.
The south lake looked a little different. the edges seemed to take most of the damage from the last warm up we had. The edges of the south lake were only about 1" thick. I grabbed the 8' 1x10 out of my truck. About 8' out the ice was at 2" hard and clear.
Both sides have snow sitting on them. Not sure if that snow with the pending snow we have coming in over the next day or so will help or hurt us. It will either weigh the ice down push water up and refreeze. or worst case insulate the the ice and make it hard to grow.
I won't check again until Saturday as that is the earliest I would see it being ready.
Another update to follow on Saturday.
Everyone be safe and have a Wonderful New year.
